'Nobody writing today manipulates suspense better. A powerful, moving novel that stands with le Carré's best. It is, in other words, essential reading' Sunday Telegraph 'The book breathes life, anger and excitement' Observer 'Richly detailed, full of righteous fire to offset its desperate prognosis, The Constant Gardener is a very impressive piece of work. It is certainly one of John le Carré's best books' The Times Literary Supplement 'Le Carré poses deep spiritual questions ... in a page-turner which reminds us that the master storyteller of the Smiley books has lost none of his cunning' Daily Mail Frightening, heartbreaking and exquisitely calibrated, THE CONSTANT GARDENER is a profoundly moving story of a man ennobled by his wife's tragic murder, and a magnificent exploration of the dark side of unbridled capitalism. - from the back cover -
